These clever devices make it possible to produce rich surface effects from alternative reduction firing techniques. In addition to showing the basic procedures for using each kiln, easy-to-follow directions for many fast-fire methods unfold in color photographs: You’ll see how to achieve terra sigillata surfaces with direct chemical application, and how to do traditional crackle-glaze raku and smoke finishes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lark Crafts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43991530144054,"sku":"1418","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/5041\/4134\/products\/1418.jpg?v=1790193921"},{"product_id":"carve-your-clay","title":"Carve Your Clay","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCarve Your Clay\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e takes you through creative techniques that produce amazing, dynamic results, including \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003einlay\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epiercing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esgraffito\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eetching\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003erelief carving\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ewire cutting\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, and more. Gain new skills as you complete \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e20 projects\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e featuring author Hilda Carr's signature style, each with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eclear step-by-step photography\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eeasy-to-follow instruction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e to achieve beautiful results.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","brand":"HATCHETTE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43991530242358,"sku":"6463","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/5041\/4134\/files\/carveyourclay.webp?v=1790191972"},{"product_id":"ceramic-jewelry","title":"Ceramic Jewelry","description":"\u003cp\u003eJoy Bosworth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis book shows you how ceramic can be combined with other materials such as silver, gold, feathers, leather, textiles or stone to create some unique and innovative pieces.
